Gang, Thanks for the answers so far.
OK, so the last question: there are a couple of W108s around with the 6-cyl 2.8 M130 engine. This is with mechanical fuel injection. The fuel consumption is considerably lower than the 4.5, the engine compartment less crowded, and anyway I prefer the six-cylinder to the 8. Questions: 1. Is the mechanical fuel injection a nightmare? Worse than the D-Jetronic used on the 4.5? 2. The M130 engine seems reasonably durable. Anything to be worried about? 3. One last doubt about the 108 platform: how long do kingpins normally last?
